Urban Decay’s describes their powder blush formula as having “buildable color” with a “blendable, finely milled” texture that will wear for “eight long hours.” It had semi-sheer to opaque coverage that was, as described, buildable. The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable on the skin and had just enough sheen to it to look sit naturally on the skin but not look shimmery. The color wore well for seven and a half hours before fading on me.

Nice color! The name makes me laugh, though. Really, X-Rated for an adorable, cheerful pink?
I wonder if they did that intentionally!
Nice! But I have the Too faced dupe and I love it! 🙂
Phew 😀
This goes well with your BITE Sake lipstick!
Thank you!
This definitely looks pale or fair skin friendly, up into *almost* light-medium. Being that it takes some layering for me to get MAC Pink Swoon to show up on my cheeks, I can tell that this one would give me no real color, just chalky ashy cheeks. (Even Pink Swoon looks a bit ashy, but with highlighter and contouring, it works?)
Ahh, yes, sounds like this is a skip for you! Pink Swoon is close enough!
Ah, I’m kicking myself. I wanted this exact colour but ended up settling for the UD Afterglow blush in “obsessed”. Wish I’d just waited for this to come out. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll be picking this one up as well now. 😛
Enjoy it when you get it next time, Asche! 🙂
Won’t be buying this. I’ve dupes in 3 different palettes!
You are covered, Claire!
Hi,Christine you’re ever beautiful and your skin! Just want to ask you if you do it what concealer do you use? and for the Guerlain powder les voilettes it is the pressed version or the loose?? And the color please?? (i have some purchase to do)
In advance thank you from France,everynight i read your newsletter because i receive it at 11pm03 lol but relax before go to bed and it is everytime a good pleasure (even if we cant buy some brands in France 🙁
I don’t use concealer very often, but if I do it’s usually: Cle de Peau Concealer (the twist-up tube) or IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye. I usually use the loose for looks (I keep pressed in my purse), and I use #3.
Thank you so much for reading the newsletter, Chacha! 🙂
You’re welcome my dear! Iam really an addict of your blog! And before to buy something i listen the good teacher you’re! 🙂 My last regret it was the Dior blush from the spring collection,i want it so bad and was ready to buy it because of this stunning color!! but when you rated D i say “bye bye” to him and keep money in the bank lol 🙂 (Ps:its the first time i comment so sorry because i wasnt writing about this (beautiful) UD blush)
I really like this one. It’s so pretty. I don’t have any of dupes, which surprised me.
That surprises me too 😉
I really like the UD Afterglow blush samples that I’ve tried. I’m having a hard time choosing my first full-sized shade ^_^ X-Rated looks so pretty, though.
I don’t think I actually have a pink like this in my collection…not sure if the tone is right for me but could be really brightening.
This is a pretty color that would work well on me!
I agree, Fran 😀
I need this one! So pretty.
OMG what a perfect blush for pale people. It’s going to the top 5 blush wish list. Just about everything else on the list is slightly more expensive so this might be the take home prize.
I do like the color and agree with another reader that it’s a sweet color with a bad girl name.
Is this available at Sephora? Your “where to buy” says it is but I can’t find it! Is this perhaps one of the UD.com-exclusive shades?
It is a UD exclusive!
